Ubisoft has announced that it will be developing a title based off of the US show, Spartacus. A press release for the title stated it will be a “unique gaming experience based on popular characters from the international hit series.” The show itself happens to be produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Steven S. DeKnight and Joshua Donen. The press release goes on to say, “Gamers will experience primeval gladiator moments, from training inside the ludus to brutal battles in the arena, all while striving to become a legend.
“Featuring thousands of ruthless weapon combinations and a robust skill system, Spartacus Legends delivers a variety of tools for gamers to customize their gladiators and dismember their foes. Gamers will be able to fight as Spartacus, Crixus or one of their own created gladiators as they battle with friends offline or in online multiplayer to join the ranks on the worldwide leaderboards.”
The game will be launched within the first quarter of 2013.
